Abstract
In a process for making a high linear condensation polymer (especially polyethylene terephthalate) wherein primary components are continuously reacted to form a polymerizable monomer, the monomer is prepolymerized to form a continuous stream of low molecular weight polymer and the low molecular weight polymer is continuously polymerized in a final polymerization vessel to form a stream of high molecular weight polymer, the level of polymer in the final polymerization vessel is maintained constant by adding to the monomer a controlled amount of particles of solid polymer, chemically identical with said high molecular weight polymer. Dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol are continuously reacted in the <PICT:0801813/IV (a)/1> ester-interchange column described in Specification 753,526 and the resulting bis-2-hydroxy-ethyl terephthalate (and low polymers thereof) fed to an agitated mixing vessel wherein particles of polyethylene terephthalate (preferably having a maximum dimension no greater than 3/16 inch) are dissolved in it. The resulting solution of polymer in monomer is then continuously prepolymerized in the apparatus of U.S.A. Specification 2,727,882. Vapours of ethylene glycol are withdrawn from the top of the prepolymerizer and low molecular weight polyethylene terephthalate (intrinsic viscosity 0.19-0.22) withdrawn from just below the uppermost plate and fed to a final polymerizer of the type disclosed in U.S.A. Specification 2,758,915. The final polyethylene terephthalate (intrinsic viscosity 0.65) is withdrawn from this vessel and pumped to an extrusion die. In accordance with this invention, the level of polymer in the final polymerizer is observed. When it began to rise above the desired level, the amount of polymer particles dissolved in the monomer is reduced and vice versa.
